Learning to Breathe

An amazing song by the greatest band to exist: Switchfoot!

That I'm learning to breathe,
I'm learning to crawl,
I'm findin that you and you alone can break my fall.
I'm living again...awake and alive...

MeaningFul Learning

The concept or theory of meaningful learning is that learned information is completely understood and can now be used to make connections with other previously known knowledge, aiding in further understanding.1 Since information is stored in a network of connections, it can be accessed from multiple starting points depending on the context of recall. Meaningful learning is often contrasted with rote learning, a method in which information is memorized sometimes without elements of understanding or relation to other objects or situations. A real-world example of a concept the learner has learned is an instance of meaningful learning. Utilization of meaningful learning may trigger further learning, as the relation of a concept to a real-world situation may be encouraging to the learner. It may encourage the learner to understand the information presented and will assist with active learning techniques to aid their understanding. Although it takes longer than rote memorization, information is typically retained for a longer period of time.

Wow this is some MeaningFul Learning aka Education I love this school! (Nice act)
